CONNECTION TO PLACE
Cog Wild acknowledges that we operate on the traditional territories of tribes of Oregon who have lived in this region since time immemorial. The people were forcibly removed from the land during a series of treaties with the United States in the 1800s. Today, Oregon’s tribal people live in urban and rural areas and on many reservations throughout the state. In the areas we operate, the primary tribes are The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Learn more about the tribes of Oregon or of your home region at Native Land Digital.
The trails we ride are currently stewarded by the United States Forest Service (USFS) and many non profit trail work organizations including Central Oregon Trail Alliance, Oakridge Trails Alliance and Disciples of Dirt. Cog Wild pays the USFS 3% percent of revenue earned on the forest and gives back to the land and cycling community through volunteer trail work and donations of money, goods or services to organizations that increase opportunities for all people to recreate outside.

Our Staff
Cog Wild invests in our staff and supports them to be the best guide, coach or driver possible.

The skills we learned from Erika allowed us to be much more confident on the trails, and we found ourselves looking out for obstacles on the trails to practice our newly acquired skills.
Communications with Cog Wild was excellent, really friendly and knowledgable team.
I’ve been mountain biking since I got my first trek 830 in 1983. This single track ride on the Santa Cruz with Ben was a top 10 ride and experience!! Thank you.
I bought the full day private guided ride for me and one other parson, including rental bikes. I found it very expensive for what we got though. It cost $450 excluding tip and whilst the riding was good, we wouldn’t go again for that price. A small niggle, but the package included a lunch sandwich plus “substantial snacks” but there were no snacks. I didn’t bring my own as I’d expected to get some and was struggling for energy by the end of the ride.
As a final point, I was invited to leave a review by Cogwild after the ride but only if I was going to give 4 or 5 stars. There was a separate link for 3 stars or below, inviting me to fill out a feedback form instead. Reviews need to be candid. This detail felt as if they weren’t encouraging full transparency.
Bill was my guide and fantastic! He knew every trail. He knew the history of the area. He knew current news regarding trail development in the area. His local knowledge added much value to the already great ride we were on. Thanks again and in. hope to be back in Bend for more riding!
no idea where I was going and they pointed me towards a great ride.
I received helpful and timely email communication before the shuttle and then the day of our driver Brian was awesome! He was very friendly, talked about the trail and pulled out a map for us to look at. He took a lot of extra care with securing the bikes including a little foam padding here and there to ensure they didn't get banged up on the way up.
The van even smelled good 😆
Overall I was very impressed from beginning to end with Cog Wild and hope to do another shuttle with them soon!
Whenever we get down from Vancouver we try to book a shuttle it’s so worth it!!
Thanks again, hope to be back soon!
Would highly recommend --- we will be back!
They are the best shuttle and guiding company our bike gang has ever used.
Alex went way out of her way to make sure we had a great day! We will definitely be back!
We had a really good time riding the trails and did some of the ones they recommended. I also like that it didn’t break the bank.

That's how the name looks on the sign.
This lodge is awesome and u can pick up for a Cog Wild ride right from the bar at the lodge after a cold one before or after the ride. Oh, and they also have a cool training loop the goes around the lodge that's just .5 miles.
Bend has trails for every level, and they will guide you to whatever link ups are most appropriate to your skill level.
If you are thinking of riding in these areas do not miss out on this spectacular experience!
